Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Can dogs eat dried pineapple?
A:Yes, but only in small amounts and in moderation. Fresh is best! Dr. Williams recommends feeding your dog fresh pineapple over the dried fruit because the drying process removes all the beneficial hydration, while the amount of natural sugar stays the same.
Q:Can dogs drink pineapple juice?
A:Yes, but only in small amounts and sparingly. Pineapple juice has a higher concentration of sugar than fresh pineapple, and too much sugar is not good for dogs, especially senior dogs or those with diabetes. If you give your dog pineapple juice, it should be fresh juice without any additives.
Q:Can dogs eat pineapple core?
A:No, the core is a choking hazard and also can cause obstructions.
Q:Can dogs eat canned pineapple?
A:No, dogs should not eat canned pineapple since canned fruits often contain sugary syrup. Too much sugar is not good for your pup, especially senior dogs or those with diabetes.
Q:Can dogs eat pineapple upside down cake?
A:No, but if your dog eats crumbs off the floor or jumps up and snatches a slice of pineapple upside down cake, they should be okay. But contact your vet immediately if your dog exhibits any negative reaction, like an upset stomach.
